Sticky Situation - Classroom Display Trick

This week I will be decorating my new classroom. Finding the perfect adhesive for every situation is a little-known teacher passion. Depending on surface type, humidity level and student behavior, each classroom requires different adhesive solutions. Today, I discovered one such solution. When hanging unlaminated posters and student work, there is always a concern about how to preserve the back of the item when it's removed from the wall. At the Make and Takes blog, author Marie suggests placing a piece of tape flat on the poster first. Then make a tape loop that won't tear the paper.
